Thank you so much for the reply! Oooh I was so hoping this was the case when I read it! Ive plugged my programming card in... and all are set to Ni-xx :( To go over my ESC settings : Brake : Off Battery Type : Ni-xx Cut Off Type : Soft-Cut Cut Off Voltage : Low Start Mode : Normal Timing...

Well in GPS and Atti mode, 50% is hover. Below 50% is descend, and above is ascend. I've got used to slow descents without going below 10%. I'm not sure if this is different in Manual mode though.

If you drop below 10%, motors cut out. Just the same as when you spool up on the ground after arming the motors, you need to increase to above 10% to keep them spinning.

Hi Gary. I thought it might be my Deans connector, but then dis-counted that when all the other motors were fine as you say. I am also using bullet's, I will check them over and check my wiring harness to ensure its still connected. Will report back with results :)

Hi Gary. I was just hovering at the time. I had a GoPro onboard and my wife was also filming it with another camera... she had to run just in case it was coming towards her ! I know about the 10% throttle issue, but i was just hovering at 50% throttle at the time the motor cut out. It was only...

Pain and frustration... very fitting words :) Thanks for your reply! One thing I did check was the heat of the ESC's - and they were not warm to touch... just ambient temperature, same with the motors. It was a nice morning yesterday when it crashed... only about 24 degrees. I also have a WKM...

Hi Folks. I've just had my second hex crash and would like some guidance if anyone knows whats the best steps to take. The symptoms in both crashes : Hovers fine at low altitude.. its very very stable in both GPS and Atti modes. As soon as flying higher altitude - about 15-20m or so, after a...

Thanks for the info. Here is my latest settings. Still not 100% but better than when I started!

Thanks for the confirmation. The settings I'm referring to are the ones on the WKM - mainly the gain settings for the gimbal.

You guys are AWESOME Thank you all so much! Changing to Aero has made it simpler... set the aux channel for 3way switch, and tested failsafe (very easy as you say!) Do I need to set any failsafe settings on the TX at all? I've setup the failsafe with the 3way switch, when turning off the TX...

Thanks for the reply Bart. Yeah crashes are a shock, but luckily it was not an expensive one - gives me more opportunity to build again and learn more. I've been flying a Gaui 500x for quite a while now. It seems like a toy in comparison to the DJI / Droidworx frame combo. Before the crash...

Hi everyone. Feeling a little lost. :( I'm rebuilding after a crash :( and i'm wondering if anyone else who uses a 8FG Super Futaba TX has the steps they used to setup their Transmitter. I'm using S-Bus, Hex configuration with an AV130 Gimble. I use a Helicopter setting at the moment, but...

Thanks Dave. :) Yes, it is getting quite warm here already... and a bit windy lately too! Greg

Hi Everyone. My names Greg - Nicknames Huddo - and I'm from sunny South Australia. I fly a Gaui 330x-s upgraded to a 500x, and am in the process of building a Hex (possibly octo after upgrade) Droidworx frame with DJI Wookong-M flight controller. It's just a hobby to me, nothing too...

Hi Rich I'm building an AD6-HL... here is one of my initial rough builds - Cables were messy but it was just for a photo. I've since crashed after cleaning it up - so im waiting on some replacement parts for a rebuild. (i 'think' due to a loose prop). Planning to redesign the...
